[Trigger] Chat Event / Substring

[BagOfChips]

I'm trying to figure out the whole substring thing for my map. I'm trying to make a command that when typed, will give the amount of gold to the player, providing the typer has the amount of gold. First, I'm trying to figure out how to use the substring stuff. This is what I tried.

(If you're wondering, for right now I made it give gold to myself so that I could test it myself)

• Gold
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -gold 02 as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GOLDINT = (Substring((Entered chat string), 8, 9))
    • Player - Add (Integer(GOLDINT)) to Player 1 (Red) Current gold

I want it so that -gold 02 05 for example would give player 2, 5 gold.
Also, I'm not sure how to check if player 1 has enough gold to give to blue.

ty for any help

If you are not sure how SubString works then make a sandbox map:
Show the string Substring(("123456789"), 8, 9) on the screen

If you want to specify the amount of gold and the player too you'll need to use a chat command like this:
-gold p01 550 (gives 550 gold to red)
OR
-gold red 550 (does the same)
or something like that.

To check if player blue has enough gold or not:
Gold amount is an integer hard coded variable. You can find it under Integer Comparision / Player Property.

TY, got the chat part of it working.



Edit: ok here's what I got. It works for Red every time I use it so far, but does anyone see any problems that could occur with it?

Remove the Do Nothing's.
Change 0X (player number) to X and then put it all into a loop, no need to create a new copy for each player.
Change the money checker (10-12) to 10 - Length of the string.

What's bad about do nothings? JW.

waste of space / not needed?

They are a waste of file size and waste of processing time and waste of memory.
They really do nothing else but eat up your resources.

And here I was thinking they were my friends.

btw, while this topic is up, is the chat event really necessary?

 

[emperor_d3st]

I made a marketplace system for my map. All players can send resources from marketplaces. Looks much better, I might post a screenie later.
